Before GRAHAM, Presiding Judge, and BLAND, HATFIELD, GARRETT, and LENROOT, Associate Judges.
The Primary Examiner of the United States Patent Office rejected all of appellant's claims for a patent relating to a repulsion type relay. Upon appeal to the Board of Appeals, the decision of the Examiner was affirmed and appellant has here appealed for a review of the Board's decision.
The Examiner in great detail describes the invention, but sufficient description of it, we think, is found in the claims and in the decision of the Board. Concerning the nature of the invention the Board said:

Claim 16 is regarded as illustrative and reads:
The Examiner gave three grounds of rejection: First, that there would be no invention in using a mercury tube switch such as Ulrich or Bogle show in a device like that of Coleman, Johnston, or Hewlett, the latter three patents showing as they do a movable coil similar to that of the applicant; second, upon Coleman, Johnston, or Hewlett alone; third, that there was no patentable distinction over the subject-matter claimed in claims 1 and 2 of McCabe's patent 1,973,925, of September 18, 1934.
The Board disapproved of the third ground of rejection and it will not be considered here.
We find it necessary to consider only the first ground of rejection above stated. On this ground of rejection the Board said:
